The Food Expo is here this weekend
This is to all the foodies out there…
The annual, touted to be Malaysia’s largest consumer food exhibition, iFoodEx, is here is weekend at Pisa.
Now, before you make a rush there in hopes of finding loads of good food or at least find dry, canned or packaged foods with great big discounts, don’t put your hopes up.
Sure, the first few years of the event were good. There were a lot of stalls with really great bargains. Then, over the years, it became stale (pun intended).
The number of stalls are about the same, as are the number of people who thronged it. BUT, there were no great bargains and well, it was…ho-hum…boring.
I would know. I go to the food expo every single year!
And each year, it gets worse and worse. It became more like an exhibition by several major food companies to hawk their products, like an enclosed pasar malam. Nothing great. No great bargains. No huge great variety of foods there. Nothing new, nothing wonderful and nothing to shout about.
So, I am not going to put my hopes up that this year it will improve and that it won’t go down the decline it is heading towards.
Yes, I will still be going to check it out because a foodie like me just have to go to make sure that I did not miss anything. Sigh…I know it probably will be an absolute disappointment but well, I am a sucker when it comes to food…sad but true..
So, to all the other suckers foodies out there, here are the details:
